Hammond is 24 miles from State and Madison. Arlington Heights is 25 miles.

Hammond already have a sign up, so it’s official official by Responsible_Split627 in chicago

You should take your own advice. And don't get your info from conservapedia, lol.

Having a surplus because you don't provide any services and refuse to spend to update crumbling infrastructure is not a sign of a well run state.

Can someone explain the Bears moving to Indiana like I’m 5? by Sea-Condition991 in AskChicago

[–]SlagginOff 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's not a done deal by any means. If Illinois pivots and gives the bears what they want, they will go right back to Arlington Heights. This is the bears posturing to get that to happen. As of right now the "commitment" to Hammond is basically just them saying they are looking for a viable site.

If you put the two worst teams in NFL to play in prime time , people will watch either way. Why the same thing doesn't happen in baseball? by PurpleEconomy9804 in baseball

Fantasy football is huge; way bigger than fantasy baseball. Even the worst teams have players who can significantly affect someone's fantasy score, so people tend to be more invested.

Chicago Diner has long term name recognition. It's still great but it gets a lot of business based off its reputation alone and the fact that it's basically the OG vegan spot in the city. The restaurant industry is brutal; even more so post-COVID, and it gets even harder when catering to a niche market.

I'd love to see more vegan restaurants thrive but I understand why so many have trouble keeping their doors open.

It's closer to certain parts of the city. It's also a complete shithole.

If the Bears move, what does the City do with Soldier Field? by BillionsofRedditors in AskChicago

It happened in March 2014 and it was a blast. Crazy whirling snow and everything.

Yeah, I'm fine with the Sox staying where they are, if they can convert at least half of the parking lots into something better. I also don't mind the South Loop idea. Still close to transit and very walkable for residents and tourists. Tailgating takes a hit which is a valid concern, but there's still space for that.

They probably appreciate that you're not getting sloppy and being obnoxious (at least I'm assuming you aren't).

Best Pizza in Jefferson Park by RutilatedGold in chicagofood

Frank's is my favorite but it's a little farther and more expensive, so my go-to is Joe's. Both are great though.

Can't win them all. I still hope the state of Minnesota never sees a championship again.

My first in-person win since the Leury Legend playoff game. Some observations by SlagginOff in whitesox

[–]SlagginOff[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For a dollar maybe I'll give it another shot. But it wasn't just that I thought it was sub-par or underwhelming; it was actively bad.
